Of course I'm still a Green Party member and I am campaigning locally for them at the moment but I still want to see the Tories out of government. To help make this happen Corbyn needs to reassert his authenticity and clarity on his views. Is that too much to ask?

The blackened shell of Grenfell Tower continues to cast a shadow over the capital and serves as both a traumatic symbol of the loss of life and a warning for the future. Like a giant tomb stone, the tower currently stands as an indictment to the danger of free market ideology and, if the event is to have any real political consequence, it should represent a fork in the road for society.

In the House, we have seen much faux outrage by MPs opposite us in recent sessions: they said that the Labour Party were "talking down the NHS" and the country. This is laughable hypocrisy. If you starve the public sector of funds, underpay its workers and erode their terms and conditions, then the responsibility for "doing down" our great public institutions lies firmly and squarely with you.

The UK must make many changes to effectively respect all our human rights - including significant constitutional changes. But the Labour Party could begin by starting to consistently use the language of rights. If they did they would certainly connect to the deepest desires and the moral convictions of ordinary people.

Labour might be divided on whether or not the result of the general election was good enough, but one thing is undeniable: the party possesses an unparalleled strength when it embraces bottom-up movements.

Where's the money to make a reality of the Prime Minister's oft-stated, but yet to be delivered, claim of parity for mental health? New figures I have gathered through Freedom of Information requests to Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) across England reveal that, for the fourth year in a row, the government has failed to deliver on its promise to increase the money reaching the mental health frontline.

The heavens opened that night and I got thoroughly soaked as I walked the mile home at dawn but I didn't care. We had done it, and even though Cardiff had voted no overall, our campaign had brought out enough yes voters in the Capital city to play our part in the narrowest of victories.

As the Lib Dem conference gets underway this weekend, it's important to remember that just over two years ago, the party was propping up the Tories and helping deliver the Government's damaging austerity agenda. With Coalition Cabinet Minister Vince Cable now at the helm, we can be more certain than ever; the Lib Dems can't be trusted. After June's General Election it seemed like every Lib Dem left in Parliament lined up to say they were ready for the top job. But when faced with the enormity of the challenge in tackling the Lib Dems' reputation as a party of broken promises, candidates dropped off quickly.

Attempts to clip their representatives' wings or reduce their role to parliamentary cannon fodder are not just laughable, they will also fatally undermine Labour attempts to win power and implement the policies that enthused so many. Momentum's relentless focus on changing party rules will do nothing to help Labour change the government.

Tim Roache of the GMB summed it up well. "We no longer look like the members we need to recruit. And more of the same is not an option. It isn't "one more heave"". He's right. We need to be different. We need to be daring. We need to be brave. Frankly, what's the alternative? What's left to lose?

I voted in the early hours of this morning for a Bill that we had before us which was to implement the result of the EU referendum. I did so because the majority of my constituents voted in the referendum to leave the EU. I did so also because a majority of the country voted to leave the EU. There is a real issue in the Bill of a possible power grab by the Government. All of our natural sentiments are right in being suspicious as to what the Government is up to. But this was not a good enough reason to be voting against the whole Bill.

Labour's new, softer stance on BREXIT, announced with a new found desire to remain within the EU's Single Market and an intention to vote down the EU Withdrawal Bill, is not a policy platform designed to get the best for the UK. Instead, Labour are playing dangerous party political games with BREXIT and have been doing so since before the referendum.

Labour's establishment wants to talk about Corbyn's successor at the Brighton conference. That is a mistake and a missed opportunity. Personally, I would rather be debating how to defeat Theresa May and win the next election. Sadly, Labour's new establishment do not agree.

I want us to focus on creating a country that fights inequality and fights injustice wherever we see it. That is only possible with a Labour government in Holyrood. And that is why I am standing to be the next Scottish Labour leader and our party's nominee for the next First Minister of Scotland.
